Very critical to the scope of the mobile photography workshop, the Simala Shrine was chosen as the first stop for the PixelMaster Photo Walk because of its architectural location. For almost an hour, mentees were able to capture their photos and head on to its next destination, the Temple of Leah in Busay.
